Built in 1890, 41277 is the oldest wagon on the SVRSevern Valley Railway and the only known survivor of over 18000 four plank open wagons built by the GWRGreat Western Railway between 1886 and 1902. Bought by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund in 1992 from Sharpness Docks, where it is believed it had been since being condemned by the GWRGreat Western Railway in 1935.
The grease axle boxes were replaced with 'OK' oil axle boxes in 1910 and the original single sided brakes were upgraded in 1928 to comply with Board Of Trade regulations by having a second lever operating a single shoe added to the other side.[1][2]
